Code Notes

Code Notes is a minimalist piece of software that makes it as straightforward as possible for you to store your code snippets.

It's built explicitly to look good and to be as user-friendly as possible, and this shows right away, as the app's graphical user interface is nothing short of intuitive.

You're provided with a simple editor window for adding snippets, a useful search bar, and a sort of snippet filter/explorer panel on the left side of the main window, and that's really about it.

To add a new snippet, simply click the plus button from the upper right side of the app's main window and fill in all the necessary data such as Name and description, select the programming language from the dropdown list and, finally, add your code snippet in the Content section (which also features syntax highlighting).

Since we're on the subject of languages, it's worth highlighting that the app supports text snippets as well as most types of programming languages such as HTML, Java, Javascript, JSON, Markdown, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Swift, and Typescript just name a few.

You're also able to filter snippets by language (from the left-side panel) and even use the built-in search function to locate them by name and description.

Taking everything into account, Code Notes is a very likable application that works and looks rather good, despite it being a young project with lots of room for improvements.

It's quite usable as it is, however, considering its minimalist feature set, it won't be the shining star for users who want more advanced connectivity via the cloud, for example, and even some basic features such as keyboard shortcuts and, why not, a dark theme to go with your favorite IDE.
